Ableton anunta Ableton Live Intro

Ableton Live Intro este versiunea low budget a celor de la Ableton INC pentru principalul lor produs software Ableton Live. Pretul anuntat este de doar 99 euro, cei ce au deja Ableton LE 7 dar si 6 putand face upgrade-ul catre pachetul Live Intro free. Ableton Live Intro chiar se doreste a fi inclocuitorul cu totul al lui Ableton LE 7.

Nu se poate vorbi ca fiind acelasi lucru Ableton Live Intro cu Ableton Live sau Ableton Suite. Sunt o multime de diferente intre pachete, limitarile fiind mai mult cantitative decat calitative. Insa, chiar daca vine de exemplu cu doar 64 de canale, posibilitatea de doar doua efecte pe send si 12 in general aplicabile (etc etc), Live Intro este o baza serioasa de productie audio. Partile bune sunt mult mai multe decat partile rele in acest caz. O privire comparativa intre Ableton Live Intro si Ableton Live 8 aveti aici.

Pe scurt, Ableton Live Intro vine cu o librarie de 7 Gb de Sample-uri, peste 200 de track-uri midi, instrumente, efecte … toate fiind aceleasi din pachetul mare Ableton Suite. Alte specificatii ar fi:

● Inregistrare pana la 32 bit / 192 kHz
● Suporta Full REWIRE / Slave sau Master
● 64 trackuri audio / Nelimitat la partea de Midi
● Instant Mapping pentru MIDI Hardware, Controllers etc.
● MIDI Sync cu alte softuri
● Suporta VST si AU Instruments si Plugins
● Compatibil MAC OSX si WINDOWS XP / VISTA
